I don't mind playing my Lasher with you both.. Send me invites when your on and see me onlineMy Lasher definitely needs some help. Perhaps we could spar some time?

IMO he is A+ borderline S
He is the master of mid range with his 50/50s and d+f1 his pressure is also good
It's probably because of his dumb J2, relatively safe specials which most of the cast either have a hard time punishing or can't punish, normal gaps in SR pressure no longer exist with the low special, halfscreen normal that is a combo starter, and still has HTBs.

Thanks for the reply. Who and where was it? I would like to watch footage.
It was Vman at KIT
The thing is they don't really play alike, SR is more rushdown, momentum and mobility based while lasher is momentum killing space control based character. Yeah you can control space in sr but it isn't really the point of the variation.
I tend to do a mix and match of rushdown and keep out when I play SR so I try to translate that style to Lasher. Though my Lasher is mediocre at best because I haven't dedicated enough time to it.
Lasher has a little rushdown but it shouldn't be used often, he tends to have burst offence then backs off when he is done to keep the opponent out. You want your offense with lasher to be short and unexpected. And only in certain match ups. Like how you should NEVER rush down Johnny cage, d'vorah, liu kang, or pretty much anyone where their primary objective is to get in and pressure you
I guess my problem is I see so many people have good corner carry with lasher and then keep the pressure on I wonder when I should try and force that type of situation or if I should always back off and play it safe. Lasher is my least explored Takeda variation so it def needs work. I only bring it out against people like Jax
Lasher is interesting in the corner because you have to get in the opponents head and do the opposite of what they expect. Let's say they are really ready to get out and they think you are going to do another loop of f12 2+4 ex kunai pressure. So they decide to armor out. But if you back off you can whiff punish their armor and keep them in the corner and make them afraid to armor out. It's the little things like that sprinkled all over the place that makes him very interesting to main. Yes those elements are in other characters but they are the most prevalent in lasher
It's things like that I want to learn. I might have to dedicate a lot of time to only Lasher to really understand those elements. Also I feel like learning Lasher that well will help me with the other two. Outside of Vman it's hard to find a lot of footage.
I can send you some of my tournament footage. Although I cringe at my own gameplay a lot since the matches I have on YouTube I'm not that proud of but i watch them all the time since it is important to watch your footage and criticize yourself
I just played a bunch of Lasher today and it's really hard not to rushdown. If I could work my PS4 better I'd upload a bit of the gameplay for critique.
Sure thing. Send you footage to me in a private message and I'll help you out
Well, my advice would be to 70% of the time go for a backdash after you finish a corner combo where you should be getting at least 40% every time. This leaves all these options open: b2, b3, df1, kunai, or 2, 1.
